  • the present invention relates to gaming devices and method of using the same.
  • it relates to a device for displaying a bonus.
  • U.S. patent number 6,059,289 issued to Vancara, discloses a method for playing a bonus game in a secondary slot machine adjacent to a primary slot machine.
  • the primary slot machine issues a bonus-qualifying signal to the secondary slot machine to start play of a bonus game when a bonus qualifying event occurs.
  • the values or value play symbols are accumulated into an accumulated winning value until the end of the bonus game occurs.
  • patent numbers 5,823,874 and 5,848,932 disclose slot casino games incoiporating a single play bonusing feature where a rotating wheel is activated by the player depressing a bonus spin button when certain indicia appear on the reels of a slot game.
  • U.S. patent number 5,393,057, issued ioMarnell II discloses an electronic gaming apparatus and method therefore wherein each play in the bonus is the result of successive underlying game play.
  • Players of gaming apparatus typically find it enjoyable to have a variety of different forms of gaming apparatus available. Gaming machines that are more interesting generate more player excitement and in turn are played longer resulting in more revenue for the game operator. In addition, games that are more visually appealing generate more player interest. Generally, bonus prizes are offered in such games in order to increase the excitement and enjoyment experienced by players. This attracts more players to the game and encourages players to play longer. When gaming devices attract more players and the players play longer, they tend to be more commercially successful relative to other gaming devices.
  • Display devices are utilized on gaming devices in order to attract players. Once players are attracted to the gaming device, they tend to play longer because the display device enhances the stimulation and excitement experienced by players. It is, therefore, desirable for gaming devices to incorporate highly visible display devices. Display devices tend to be more successful if they utilize physical objects rather than simulations. Although video devices and electronic signs can be used for display devices, players are more attracted to display devices that utilize physical objects. Physical objects can be even more effective display devices if they are moveable and they are used in combination with lights and sounds.

  • Figure 1 is a preferred embodiment of the gaming device 10. It has a primary gaming device 14 shown as an electronic slot machine. Gaming device 14 generates a bonus-qualifying event on the reel stripl ⁇ of the slot machine. The bonus event can be almost any predetermined event and can be internal or external to the game. A bonus game 12 is mounted on top of the primary gaming device 14 and acts in

  • a random number generator automatically selects the multiplier by which the base bonus will be multiplied to determine the bonus to be awarded to the patron. For instance, if the patron receives two (2) heads, this would entitle the player to a base award of 25 coins. If the 4X multiplier bonus indicator 21 lights up as shown in figure 1 , the game player is awarded a total prize of 100 coins, which would be displayed on the win meter embodiment shown in figure 3.
